08 Jan 09 New HP netbook with 8 hours on single battery charge

HP, the giant computer company, announced that they will release new netbook that can be used for full office hours on a single battery charge. That is very cool news for 9-5 people like me because it will enable them to work not only longer hours without charging the battery, it will also help frequently travellers to use the netbook longer than ever.

Mainly targeted for business users, HP 2140 is another type of netbook, which won many fans because of its operatability, low cost and extreme portability. 

HP's new Mini 2140 netbook is based on a 1.6-GHz Atom processor and comes with a 160GB disk drive or an 80GB solid-state drive.

I think this series will challenge the likes of Acer Aspire ONE and those other netbook models. This will improve the heat releasing system from previous version 2133 with 10 inches displa.  LCD widescreen display that can be set for a resolution of either 1024-by-576 or 1366-by-768. The 2.6-lb. machine also includes a built-in Wi-Fi connection, and customers can choose between a 160GB disk drive or an 80GB solid-state drive.

The finish is fantastic and the processor is 1.2 Ghz Via C7M processor and it looks fantastic. This HP beauty can offer several operating systems including Novell Inc.’s SUSE Linux, the Home and Professional versions of Windows XP, and Windows Vista Home Basic or Business.

So, What do you think? Do you want to get one for yourself? or probaby a present for someone?
